Sharing knowledge is why I love safe cave diving. Sharing
accurate information to aid learning so that you too can have the
opportunity to experience the beautiful cenotes and underwater cave
systems of the Riviera Maya is what my entire cave diving career has
been about. Lucky and blessed to cave dive for so many years, now
I share.

HELP PROTECT THE BEAUTIFUL CENOTES!

To all the cave diving community,
recreational divers, explorers and friends of the Cenotes;

I write this to all of you in order to create
conscience and to put all EGOS behind and start working together, because we
are facing one of the biggest treats in cave diving history which is the
massive destruction of some of the most beautiful cave systems around the world
and one of the largest and cleanest fresh water sources on earth, the rich,
complex, sometime even endemic and endangered biodiversity and the invaluable
historical discoveries made on NAHARON AND THE BLACK HOLE, among other to be
found and jet to be discovered, the archaeology and anthropology, and the
conservation of the main fresh water source in the estate of Quintana Roo and
the Yucatan Peninsula, please this is the time to work as a unit and sell the
idea that conservation is a better business, lets rise our voices together and
if they don´t listen to us here then let´s do all around the world, let´s make
the international community to look this way and since many of you are from
different countries this should be easier tell all your friends about México
and it´s beauty and why it should be preserved and not destroyed or transform
in to a RESORT, let´s prove to all land owners, hotel builders, construction
companies and the government that the tourist want to come to México to enjoy
all the beautiful and natural heritage that we have and if they are taken away
eventually they won’t have a reason for the tourist to come…

I hope I can get this letter to most of you
and that you make it travel all around the world, tell your friends about the
Mayan Culture and their advances on mathematics, astronomy, ocean navigation
and architecture, tell them how they considered the CENOTES SACRED because
among other things they knew it was the source of fresh water so important to
sustain life and that we all give for granted because we can buy it in any
convenience store but we forget that in the Yucatan peninsula it comes
primarily from the CENOTES.
